Battle your way through the ranks of the DWC in the ultimate strategic and competitive pro wrestling board game.
Cameras flash. Spotlights cut through the darkened arena. The crowd erupts as your intro music thunders over the speakers. You take a deep breath, one final check to make sure your gear is in place, and step out onto the stage. Arms raised, you march down the ramp toward the ring, and your waiting opponent…

Diabolical Dave’s Rumble Throwdown is a strategic board game that takes you beyond the ring, experiencing several aspects of a pro wrestling career.
Play the role of a crowd favorite ‘Face’ or a hated ‘Heel’ wrestler. Over the course of the game, you’ll make choices about your wrestling style, gimmick, moves, attire, special abilities, and more. Make your choices wisely; the combinations and strategies to win the game are nearly endless.
Beyond wrestling the superstars of the Diabolical Wrestling Council, the infamous DWC, you’ll hold interviews, cut promos, suffer setbacks, and scheme to interrupt your opponents' matches, all with one goal in mind: capturing and defending the DWC World Championship!

Diabolical Dave’s Rumble Throwdown is the first project created by Grimmsteel Games. Built on decades of shared passion for gaming, pop culture, and late nights (or early mornings) of shenanigans, the team believes in the idea that shared laughter - not winning - is the ultimate prize on game night. The initial idea for DDRT came during a side conversation while playing an adventure card game, and grew over development into a deeply strategic experience that never lost its sense of fun.
The Grimmsteel Games team has worked with experienced graphic designers, artists, and fellow game designers to create the most complete project possible heading into the Kickstarter campaign. Jump in the ring and discover what all the yelling and cheering is about!

Note: These three videos above were recorded prior to adding the Solo and 2 Player modes.

Preproduction Copy Unboxed!
2025-03-08 20:18:44Unbox DDRT With Us!
You read that right! Join us as we unbox the preproduction copy of Diabolical Dave's Rumble Throwdown. You're seeing the cards, chits, components, and box from our partners at LongPack Games as we saw them for the first time in this video, and we think you're going to love what you see!
Great! Now What?
We're glad you asked! The preproduction copy of the game is a digital print only, not a normal four-color print run, that let us review all of the components. And even the digital print looks amazing! We've sent LongPack approval to move forward with the mass production run, and we'll receive a mass production copy of the game halfway through that run for a final approval. When we get that, we'll share another video with you to check out the finished product.
We're also working on filming some How To Play videos using this copy of the game. In the past we've used digital assets to explain the rules and procedures, but since there is no immediate plan for a digital offering, we wanted to keep the presentation true to form.
We're sure many of you have questions about shipping, given the volatile situation concerning tariffs and other factors outside our control. We're going to keep an eye on the situation and we'll provide an update when we have a better estimate for when we'll be shipping the games out.
